Update: Lancaster County teen, family dog found safe

Authorities say a 17-year-old girl and family dog who went missing Monday morning have been found safe.

Lancaster County authorities said Lisa Vanmeveren left her home southwest of Lincoln with the family dog -- a brown Lab mix named Tucker.

She was reported missing by her mother around 8:30 a.m. Monday; however, authorities said she was last seen near Southwest 86th Street and Highway 33 a couple of hours later.

Authorities said a K-9 track was conducted from that area with no success. Other searches continued through Tuesday until Vanmeveren and the dog were contacted by residents near Southwest 131st and West Bennet Road, several miles from the girl's home. The residents called the Sheriff's Office to report they had found her.

The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said it will release more details on the case at a 9 a.m. news conference Wednesday.
